Chapter 1035

These Heita dolls are residual meme fragments of memory; fortunately, cleaning them up isn't troublesome.

Clearly I didn't exert any effort, yet the mirror sighed in relief as if exhausted: "Oh dear, that was a close call… piu~ So why would a memory meme appear here?"

"It's not just this one. Look over there—#7631, #10136… they all have the same problem."

"Can't we adjust their parameters remotely?"

"Unfortunately, no." Heita shrugged, "Because the 'Refusal to Cooperate Module' has been checked— even I can't bypass its permission, hehe."

Hearing Ms. Heita's utterly emotionless 'hehe' laugh, the mirror felt its brain about to burst: "…What on earth were you thinking when you designed these things?"

Heita remained in her usual indifferent attitude: "I just designed them for fun back then."

All the Heita dolls in this area were aggressive, and Heita quickly disposed of them all; but upon reaching the sector's border, they spotted a crystalline memory bubble.

"How deep we are, and yet there's a memory bubble?"

"Hehe… I've got a lead, how interesting. The answer can wait… let's first deal with the faulty dolls?"

The last faulty doll was #9588; although a bit troublesome, Heita still disposed of it effortlessly.

"Phew, that was close… almost shattered everywhere…"

"Don't exaggerate; dealing with this opponent would barely require a single brain cell from me."

"So, have we resolved the troubles in all three sectors? Does this mean…?"

"Before that, we still have a small matter to settle." Heita looked up behind her, "Since just now, it seems we've been followed by a little tail…"

"Your observation is remarkably keen, Ms. Heita." The voice from the Fourth Mirror, which had been goofy a moment ago, instantly turned cold, "Do you need our help?"

"Sure, call everyone out, Fourth Mirror—" Ms. Heita's lips curled into a slight smile, "What we're about to do is too important to let a petty thief slip through the cracks."

Suddenly, three more mirrors appeared out of thin air, encircling a small cluster of memory bubbles. In the mirrors' reflection, the cluster kept shifting shape, eventually reverting to the form of a memory wielder.

"Memory parasite, you surely don't think this shoddy disguise can fool a genius's eyes, do you? Once my mirror shines on you…" Heita walked toward her, smiling brightly, the click of her heels echoing in the empty lab.

"…You might as well not even think about escaping."

——

Chainsaw Person.

I've found that this bunch of Memory people are all quite bold— the previous Miss Black Swan dared to probe the memory of the Void Emissary, and ended up badly frightened. This one went to probe the memory of the Wisdom Emissary… is she tired of living?

Denji didn't get why they all insisted on playing with fire; Black Swan was fine, after all she hadn't known Huangquan's true identity beforehand. But this Memory Court memory wielder is different— her boldness is clearly far greater.

Among the memory wielders, why does it seem only Reki is the most cautious?

"The memories of important figures are usually precious; to them, the memories of emissaries and ordinary pathfarers are probably like the difference between delicacies and plain rice," said Hayakawa Aki.

Denji snapped when he heard that: "What's wrong with plain rice? Plain rice is delicious too! If only plain rice could be topped with broth…"

"I'm not arguing about food with you." Aki let out a light sigh, "What I mean is, a memory wielder coming to steal an emissary's memory might not be acting of her own volition. Ordinary pathfarers wouldn't dare meddle in emissary affairs even if you gave them ten guts, yet she does… I suspect the Memory Court is backing her."

"Oh oh…! That makes sense— could it be that the Memory Court wants to go to war with Ms. Heita?"

Aki couldn't help but roll her eyes: 'I never said that, and the Memory Court probably wouldn't do something so stupid. This memory wielder is probably a… scout? It feels like she's just here to test Ms. Heita's attitude.'

——

"The memory thief panicked: 'Oh no, this is bad… As long as the green hills remain, we won't lack firewood… First flee back to the Memory Realm, we'll talk later!'"

"Gee, looks like some people weren't listening." Heita let out a soft sigh, her form flickering constantly around the memory thief, "Didn't I say that already? With just your little skill… you also want to escape my grasp?"

"Heita… Heita-sama! What… what do you want to do… I… I'll tell you everything! The Memory Court's secrets, what they're coveting… I'm willing to spill it all! Please, please spare me…"

"Oh come on, in such a critical moment, the best excuse you can muster is just these few lines? That won't do." Heita narrowed her eyes, giving a haughty cold smile, "Need a reminder? I am Heita #83 of the Genius Club, the scholar who unraveled the mystery of imaginary number overflow, the keeper of the imaginary number collapse weapon… Do you think I need any answers from you?"

"I… I…"

From the Fourth Mirror extended countless black, soft hands, they twined around the memory thief's body, gradually pulling and devouring her into the mirror. Cold condensed into thick frost on her, and she could only watch helplessly as Heita gently lifted her chin, lightly pressing her index finger against her cheek.

"Shh, don't speak. This is my moment of glory— you just need to listen quietly." The smile at Heita's lips faded a bit, "You sneaked in here simply to steal the memory of the All-Knowing One, right?"

——

Attack on Titan.

"Steal, steal the memory of the All-Knowing One… she's crazy?"

Armin froze instantly; he had considered that the memory thief's target might be Ms. Heita, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect it to be the All-Knowing One!

How can her boldness be this great?

Even he knows the All-Knowing One possesses all the knowledge in the universe and is likewise anchored to the future. If this memory thief truly copied the All-Knowing One's memory, it would mean she herself would instantly comprehend the entire universe—and even the futures of everyone in it.

…Is she sure her own brain won't burst? Even if the Memory Court has light-cone technology, it couldn't possibly store such a massive amount of memory, could it?
